Monster pipeline

We have one final chance to stop one of the worst oil pipelines on Earth. It is truly monstrous. It would be the longest heated pipeline on the planet, pumping up to a quarter million barrels of oil every single day. Snaking through Uganda and Tanzania, it'll tear through elephant sanctuaries, twelve protected forests, and more than 200 rivers. Thousands of families are being evicted to clear the way -- and people are getting beaten and arrested for speaking out. Our movement has been fighting this pipeline for years. But despite some important breakthroughs, construction is charging ahead. This could be our last chance to stop it. Right now, one of the UK's top law firms is preparing to take the owners of the pipeline to court. Legal experts believe the case has a real chance of stopping the pipeline outright -- but we have to launch it now, before construction is completed. That's why I'm writing to you today. This is an urgent call to everyone who cares about the climate crisis and human rights. If enough of us chip in, we can provide the seed funding to launch this court case immediately, support families who are facing eviction, and power Avaaz's work to protect life on Earth. If we act now, together, we could stop this pipeline -- and the impact would be felt for generations to come. Please donate what you can today:

Dear friends, We have one final chance to stop one of the worst oil pipelines on Earth. It is truly monstrous. It would be the longest heated pipeline on the planet, pumping up to a quarter million barrels of oil every single day. Snaking through Uganda and Tanzania, it'll tear through elephant sanctuaries, twelve protected forests, and more than 200 rivers. Thousands of families are being evicted to clear the way -- and people are getting beaten and arrested for speaking out. Our movement has been fighting this pipeline for years. But despite some important breakthroughs, construction is charging ahead. This could be our last chance to stop it. Right now, one of the UK's top law firms is preparing to take the owners of the pipeline to court.

Security forces are beating and arresting people for speaking out. This court case is the last credible route to saving their homes and protecting some of the planet's most precious ecosystems.  At a time when global politics feels increasingly chaotic, it can be hard to believe real change is still possible. International agreements are being ripped up, wars dominate the headlines, and powerful interests keep pushing new fossil fuel projects forward. But this fight is different. By funding this lawsuit, we have the opportunity to land a decisive blow against one of the most destructive oil projects on the planet. With help from Avaaz members, communities in East Africa have already fought this project through regional courts -- but their case was dismissed on a technicality. This new lawsuit in the UK is the last remaining path to stopping this monster pipeline. Legal experts believe it offers a far better shot at a fair, independent hearing -- with a real possibility of success. If we raise enough, we could: Help fund a groundbreaking court case in the UK to stop the East African Crude Oil Pipeline, exposing the environmental abuses and climate devastation that this project will cause; Stage an epic media stunt around the launch of the court case, increasing pressure on insurance companies to walk away from the project;  Support families in Uganda and Tanzania who are fighting their evictions, providing cash assistance for food, medicine and other basic necessities; Fuel Avaaz campaigns to defend land rights alongside Indigenous and frontline communities, and continue the fight to protect life on Earth. Everything Avaaz does is entirely funded by people like you. We are counting on your donation to help launch this court case immediately. Please give what you can now.  I'LL DONATE R$15 I'LL DONATE R$25 I'LL DONATE R$45 I'LL DONATE R$85 OTHER AMOUNT With endless hope and determination, Kaitlin, Laure, Bieta, Pascal, Mike, and the whole team at Avaaz More information about the court case: Who's bringing the case: The lawsuit is being prepared by Leigh Day, one of the UK's leading environmental and human rights law firms. They are working closely with Ugandan lawyers and affected communities. Why this case is in the UK: Although the East African Crude Oil Pipeline is being built in Uganda and Tanzania, the company that owns and runs it is registered in the UK, which means it can be challenged in UK courts. Why this matters: Legal experts believe bringing the case in the UK gives a far better chance of a fair, independent hearing -- and a real opportunity to use environmental and human rights law to stop the pipeline. What the case could achieve: The pipeline could be halted outright, and communities whose land and livelihoods will be impacted by this project could get the justice and compensation they deserve. Why your support is critical, right now: We have a short window of time to help launch this case before construction is complete -- making this a rare opportunity for each of us to take a direct stand against one of the most destructive pipelines on Earth.

A 5 year old’s last words

"I'm so scared… please come." These were the last words of 5-year-old Hind Rajab, trapped in a car under Israeli fire, begging for help. Today, exactly two years after her death – we joined up with Hind's mother to unfurl a 1,000m² portrait of her daughter - to honour her life and issue an urgent plea to the world: deliver justice to Gaza's children. Now, we need your help to make sure this call is heard. So please watch this video, and if it moves you – share with as many friends and family as possible: WATCH ON INSTAGRAM  (Why this is so important: The more of us watch and share in the first hours after posting, the more it will be picked up and shown to more people. That's how we all can help increase the video's reach and get the call for Gaza's children heard.)

Children are still dying from preventable injuries and illnesses. It's time to make sure Gaza's children are heard. With determination, The whole Avaaz team

dog meat on the menu?!

Every year, a million dogs are butchered and eaten in Indonesia. Most Indonesians want this to end and the parliament is now considering a nationwide ban! Activists on the ground already won several local bans and say international support can help them push this bill through! Let's join them in urging Indonesia to become dog meat-free!   Stolen from families, abducted from streets, butchered, and sold in dog meat restaurants. Every year, about one million dogs are killed and eaten in Indonesia. But in city after city, Indonesian activists have convinced local governments to ban dog meat. Now, a national ban is on the horizon, and Indonesia's parliament has made it a priority for 2026. Activists tell us that international support will help them keep up the momentum and get the ban passed. Let's back them up! When enough of us join, we will work with local partners to deliver our call straight to Indonesia's lawmakers.

Every year, about one million dogs are killed and eaten in Indonesia. But in city after city, Indonesian activists have convinced local governments to ban dog meat. Now, a national ban is on the horizon, and Indonesia's parliament has made it a priority for 2026.

When enough of us join, we will work with local partners to deliver our call straight to Indonesia's lawmakers. Friends, not food – Dog meat ban now! Fighting for a ban on dog meat isn't just about stopping animal cruelty against four pawed family members – dog meat consumption poses significant risks to public health, for example by spreading rabies, a deadly disease. Most Indonesians don't even eat dog meat, and the ban has more than 90% of public support. A strong global campaign can help push the parliament to pass the bill and finally outlaw the consumption of dogs, cats and other animals that spread rabies. Join now and share widely with animal-loving friends! Friends, not food – Dog meat ban now! Avaazers across the globe have called for an end to the dog meat trade in China and Korea. Not long ago, we supported Korean animal rights activists to push the dog meat ban through the final stage of legislation. Today, let's show up again for animals and help pass the dog meat ban in Indonesia!     With hope and love, Ting, Eza, Alice and the whole Avaaz team More information: Historic legislative proposals to ban dog and cat meat trades are submitted to Indonesian Parliament (Dog Meat Free Indonesia coalition) Indonesia's dog meat business booms despite welfare concerns (Al Jazeera) Jakarta to soon outlaw sale and consumption of dog and cat meat amid calls for nationwide ban (Independent) Information about the cruel dog and cat meat trade in Southeast Asia (Four Paws)
